->''"I wanna live a life like that\\
I wanna be just like a king\\
Take my picture by the pool\\
Cause I'm the next big thing \\
Beverly Hills... That's where I want to be!"''
-->-- '''Music/{{Weezer}}''', ''Beverly Hills''

[[HollywoodCalifornia Beverly Hills]] is such an iconic place that just putting that in the title of a work is a selling point on its own. Just slap the words "Beverly Hills" in the title and make the city your setting, and you have half the work already made. The city is so famous in its own right, it's easy to forget that it's technically just a suburb of UsefulNotes/LosAngeles.

For many, the city has become synonymous with a collection of RichPeople stereotypes: wealth, superficiality, frivolity, etc, so using the name helps make titles seem HighConcept. There are [[RichBitch richer and bitchier]] areas than Beverly Hills, but only UsefulNotes/LasVegas rivals it as an icon of excess.

Watch out for the iconic shield-shaped welcome sign, which is pretty much [[EiffelTowerEffect guaranteed to appear]] in any work set there (as in the trope image).

Compare AmericanTitle.
